Inspection before Goods receipt?

Hi,
Is there a good way of handling inspections before GR? We need to do some controls on the truck before we take the goods into the GR area. If the temperature is to high in the truck we will send the truck back right away.
I have looked at the u201CSource inspectionu201D functionality but I'm not sure if that's a good long term solution. We don't have inbound deliveries today but I think that is something that will be implemented in the future.

Hi,
May be you can try with two step GR i.e 103 and 105 movement
When truck reaches your premises you do the MIGO with 103 movement.
This will post goods in to GR Block stock.This is not a part of your inventory.
You can test the material if u find OK then only stores does the GR with 105 movement to take into your factory stock or inventory.

System is allowing to do invoice verification before goods receipt.

Dear Friends,
I need your help in following scenario, as my system is allowing to do invoice verification before goods receipt.
To test these scenario.I have created one PO. For this PO I done goods receipt. I done invoice verification by putting invoice date as past date, posting date system date means current date. I want to stop this as system is allowing invoicing verification to be done before goods receipt.
Also, I tried after un-ticking GR based IV.
Please suggest me the solution how to stop this. Please help this is urgent.
With Best Regards,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
A)
In goods-receipt-based (GR-based) invoice verification, the invoice relates not to the purchase order, but to individual deliveries. That is to say, the reference document for the invoice is not the PO but the delivery note or the goods receipt document.
Whether you use this approach depends on your billing arrangement with the vendor. This method can be advantageous, for example, when you know the order will be fulfilled by means of many partial deliveries.
Prerequisites
Before you can use GR-based invoice verification, the following prerequisites must be satisfied:
The indicator for GR-based invoice verification (GR-based IV) must be selected for the relevant item in the purchase order (item detail screen).
<b>
A goods receipt must occur before the invoice is entered in the system.</b>
B) If you are carrying out invoice verification with reference to PO, system will not check for the GR. The entire PO amount can be posted.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks,
Viswanath

MRIO Before Goods receipt

Hi, I am facing a problem, some of goods we need to pay to vendor before goods delivered to us, I know that we can do the MIRO before goods receipt. But I would like to know any influence if I use this approach? Thanks!

Hi,
You should ideally go for Down Payment option because how you will decide the quantities to be paid for..
Because if you do MIRO before GR by removing GR based IV field then when the GR is done and again the remaining amount is to be paid, user posting invoice must adjust the quantities that will lead to inaccuracy in inventory valuation if forgotten.

Full paid before goods receipt

Hi all, I would like to know is it possible to make payment before goods receipt? Since we are issuing a PO to vendor, and the goods are partial delivery to us, but now we need to paid all to vendor first. The remaining goods will delivery to us later. Shoud I do the MIRO for all goods, then goods receipt later, is it a good solution. thanks!

Hi Dear,
When we are paying to vendor before receipt of goods it is called as advance payment. In sap it is called as down payment. This is because we have not booked any liability against vendor nor we have received goods still we are paying him in advance. So it is called a down payment.

Model Inspection & Model Good receipt

Hi Gurus,
Can someone explain to me what is the meaning of Model Inspection & Model Good receipt in simple terms ? In the inspection Type assignments and in Inspection lot creation do we necessarily have to assign it?
Regards,
Dhanuka

Dear Dhanuka
Model inspection is nothing but the approval process for material, vendor combination. Using the status profile in inforecord you can approve a material, vendor through a lab testing, pilot lot, bulk lot, etc.
Model GR refers to the GR done for the same.

Capture excise invoice before goods receipt

Do we have any advantages of capturing excise invoice before goods receipt ?

In terms of distribution of labor, yes. It gives more control to the excise personnel in your org rather than allow the control to the stores personnel who may or may not have sufficient knowlegde to handle these legal documents.

Enter Invoice before Goods Receipt

Hi
I have scenario:
I receipt Invoice and I want to enter invoice to SAP system.
After goods coming, I will receipt goods by MIGO.
I want to enter MIGO reference to invoice above.
Regards,

Hi
You can do it , but if you carry out Invoice before Goods receipt then how will have the reference of the GR during it?
To carryout this , you have to remove the GR_bsd IV indicator in Invoice Tab of Purchase order.
You may have this indicator flowing to PO for the vendor from the Purchasing view of vendor mastr data
You can carry out GRN later but can not have any reference to the it in the Invoice already processed.

Need a Badi to look the good issue status for prod order before good receipt in MIGO

Hi ,
Need a Badi to look the good issue status for compoents for prod order before good receipt in MIGO.
Example : There are 10 comps need to be issued to production order to make any assy but 6 comps were issued
and remaining 4 comps are not yet issued.,in this situation if I try to do goods receipt for prod order through MIGO.,system should populate the warning
message saying still goods issue are pending for prod order.
Please advise .
Thanks
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
Before trying with a BAdI, have you tried to control this behaviour thru the Order confirmation parameters (OPK4)?
Note that you can have a termination in case of having problems in the goods movements..
Take a look of this and the SAP help:
Termination of Confirmation if Incorrect Goods Movements
Controls if the confirmation is terminated in the event of incorrect goods
movements.
Use
This enables you to terminate the confirmation in the event of incorrect
items, for example, to prevent postprocessing records.
Dependencies
The indicator is only evaluated if either no process control key or one
process control key has been stored that enbles the goods movements to be posted
in dialog AND for which the "provide error handling for goods movements"
indicator is active. If there are incorrect goods movements, the system behaves
as follows:
A log is issued that gives information on the incorrect goods movements
If these incorrect goods movements are determined by inventory management,
then the option of correcting these errors is offered in the error handling
If the correction is not successful, the confirmation is terminated
Kind Regards,
Mariano

Value of inventory after Goods Issue, before Goods Receipt for open order

Dear Experts,
Raw materials R72 and R82 are required to produce Semifinished Product S10.
Semifinished product S10 is required to produce Fnished product F20
On 10th August 2011, I created and release a Process Order for material S10 copying component materials R72 and R82.. Goods issue for component materials R72 and R82 were done for this process order using tcode MIGO (mvt type 261).
It takes four to five days to properly blend components R72 and R82 to obtain S10.
It means Goods Receipt for this process order will be done on 14th or 15th August when this blending has been completed.
Management suddenly issues a directive that stock take should be carried out in the plant on the 12th August 2011, and my process order is still open and cannot be closed ( or goods receipt cannot be done) because blending is yet to be completed.
Please how do I take care of this scenario/situation since Goods Issue has been done already?
How will the Accountants see or get the correct value of inventory?

When I run WIP Calculation for my Process Order, what will be the effect ? I mean what accouts are updated by WIP Calculation within a period (not across a perion or at period end)?
GI values issued to the Process order will come into WIP GL .( Since your client want to know the stock take should be carried out in the plant on the 12th August 2011- we are doing WIP calculation)
> After this WIP Calculation is run, and say about 2days later, Goods Receipt for this process order is to be posted, what steps am I suppose to carry out?
After GR Made, Run a WIP calculation again for the order so that The WIP from the GL account will get reduced ,now WIP= (GI value + confirmation ) -(GR Value),
Check in DEV system before doing in PRD,
On Month end, do the variance calculation and do the settlement

Invoice before Goods Receipt in Intercompany

Hi all!
We are setting up the Intercompany Purchasing between B1 and R/3 with local stock.
In this scenario, a delivery sent from R/3 creates a draft goods receipt in B1. When the goods arrives you must manually open the draft goods receipt and add it as a "real" goods receipt. This will do the actual posting to the inventory.
When R/3 creates the invoice, it will become a purchase invoice in B1.
At this moment it is assumed that the draft goods receipt is stored as a "real" goods receipt as the purchase invoice will be based on the goods receipt.
If the goods receipt doesn't exist, the purchase invoice will have no base reference and a posting is done to the inventory by the purchase invoice. If you later creates the "real" goods receipt (when the goods arrives), you will make a new posting to the inventory and you end up with:
a) doubled inventory
b) goods receipt with no target
c) purchase invoice with no base document
To prevent this I think the solution is to ensure that the invoice in R/3 is not created before the "real" goods receipt is created in B1.
What is the best practice to ensure this?
Regards
Lars Jönson

Hi Lars,
to be able to post the purchase invoice into B1, it's a prerequisite that a base document (goods receipt) was created and posted. In the standard scenario "local stock" B1iSN does not add an purchase invoice without an existing base document "goods receipt".
B1 raises an DI error "Base Document mismatch..." and B1iSN will take the purchase invoice message into the B1iSN error inbox.
This is how the scenario is defined.
To be able to post the invoice into B1, you can activate an error action for all invoicing messages named "Mark4AutomaticRetrial" within B1iSN. Now you can resend these messages out of the B1iSN error inbox automatically using the maintenance option B1iSN Tools -> Action Handling -> Cfg DA: Automatic Resend once an hour or once a day.
With this option the invoices will be posted automatically, when the B1 draft document is transferred into a goods receipt posting (after the items arrived physially and the quality checks are done).
Best regards
Bastian
P.S.: you can find details how-to set up error action in B1iSN Guide 05 - Operations, chapter 2

Pay in advance before Goods Receipt Purchase Order

Hi Experts,
I would to know if it possible set a process of Paying in advance before to receive Goods from Purchase Order
Steps, like
1-Create P.O (ME21N).
2-Enter Incoming invoice (MIRO) (full or partial).
3-Goods Receipt Purchase Order (MIGO).
Could you suggest me?
Thanks in advance,
Ignacio

If you want post the invoice prior to GR than you should not check the Gr-based invoice in the PO invoice tab then system will allow you to post the invoice.
and later you can post the GR.
until you post the GR you will see the open GR in MB5S tcode.

Create PO related invoice - before goods receipt/confirmation

Hi all, sorry to ask this very basic question as our system is not working at the moment and I cannot test this out and have very little experience creating PO related invoice in SRM.
First of all, we are operating on SRM 4. I would like to find out whether it is possible to create an invoice with reference to a PO before we create the goods receipt.
The reason why I ask this question is because I was reading up on the IMS functionality that is available from SRM 5 onwards and it listed the functionalities that are available that weren't in the earlier releases. One point mentioned was on the ability to receipt invoice prior to confirmation of goods receipt. I also read from the help document that we can enter invoice with reference to PO for which confirmations have already been entered or for which no confirmations are expected. There is no mention on situations when the confirmation is not done yet.
Appreciate your advice on the above.
Cheers!
SF

Sorry all, I think I am confusing everyone. May be it's because the question is too basic. There is nothing fancy with the PO here. It's a PO initiated from SRM with goods receipt and invoice receipt indicator turned on BUT NOT GR-BASED invoice indicator. I just want to know whether it is possible for me to create an invoice with reference to the PO in SRM if I have not yer done the goods receipt. If I do this in ECC/R3, the invoice would have been blocked (if tolerance allowed).
Even though I know that this should be possible in SRM but because some statements in the SAP help documentation sort of implies that it might not be the case and I do not want to assume it. Plus I have not worked with creating PO related invoices in SRM before and so just want to confirm that it is working. It doesn't help when I was trying to test this scenario in our own system that the system outputs a message relating to backend communication not working.
However, I finally got a chance to test this in another client' site and found that it is possible to create an invoice with reference to a PO even before the goods receipt is posted. Though I have yet to find out why I am getting a different error in our own system, I am happy for now that it is working.
Thanks all for your reply!
Regards
SF

Pay Vendor before Goods Receipt

Hi gurus,
I have a scenario where the payment has to be made to the Vendor before the goods receipt is done as the company will benifit huge discounts. The vendor send a confirmation of the shipping and as soon as we receive the conformation we have to process the payment without even the goods receipt is done. Can anyone suggest a solution in SAP and how it will work in the system. Responses are appreciated.
Thanks!
SR

Hello SR,
Lets see the logical flow-
PO created --> Approval --> Released PO --> Message sent to vendor --> shipping information from vendor --> Downpayment
So, PO will be in released status at the time of shipping info received from vendor.
Payment on unreleased PO is not advisable.
Downpayment will help in better handling discrepancy in qty at the actual GR & making final payment. Secondly, business can negotitate different % amount to be paid with different vendor, rather than full payment on shipping info.
Thanks Laxman, for adding other dimension to solution.
Thanks

Quality inspection before goods are issued

Dear friends,
We have got requirement that before Goods are issued all materials shall undergo Quality inspection and then materials are issued.
How to map it in SAP.
Please suggest
Regards
Canand

Hi,
you have not made it clear that you want through QM or in the framework of Inventory management.
for the material in QM, you need to active QM view for that material and define the quality parameters for the material accepatance or rejection.
if through inventory management, you can select the stock type Quality inspection at the time of PO or Migo.

Rajesh
